Containing all the best elements of sci-fi, secret agents, and conspiracy theory stories, Project Arms is about kids whose arms transform into grotesquely deformed superweapons! Just when Ryo and Hayato learn that the third ARMs kid is Takashi Tomoe, the new transfer student at their school, the mysterious Egrigori organization deploys precocious twins Jeff and Al Bowen to go after them! Using their hi-tech cyborg goons Plus and Minus, the deceptively innocent-looking Bowens plan an no-mercy assault on Ryo's school. The only way the ARMs kids will survive is by working together--but Hayato's a hot-headed lone wolf and Takashi just wants to hide! less

Egrigori has turned Hayato's village into a nanotechnology research lab used for human experimentation. But before Hayato, Ryo, and Takeshi can find out more, the ARMs kids have to survive a battle against The Crimson Triad, a high-tech superagent group known for their ruthlessness and fierce bloodlust.

Ryo, Hayato, and Takeshi meet Kei Kuruma, the fourth Arms. Kei turns out to be an agent of an organization called the Bluemen and she wants Ryo and the others' help in fighting Egrigori. However, the Bluemen may be as insidious and subversive as Egrigori. All the while, Ryo's Arms appear to be gaining control of him.

The X-Army is the latest group of super-agents that are after Ryo and the other Arms kids. Up against these agents with powers of super strength, super vision, and twisting telekinesis, it looks like the Arms kids have more than they can handle.... That is until the raging and out of control Jabberwock comes out from within Ryo. Will anybody be safe?

The Arms kids have entered Carillon Tower, headquarters of Egrigori, the organization that aspires to engineer the future of mankind with a race of cyborgs. But as the kids try to destroy the organization's facilities, they run up against the Next--an advanced series of cyborg soldiers stronger than anything Ryo and his friends have ever faced before!

The Arms kids continue their battle deeper into Carillon Tower in order to reach Alice, a supercomputer intent on wiping out humankind. But now they must confront the Keith Series--mutants with powers equal to their own. They find that one small error in self-control can cause an Arms meltdown, destroying their enemies, their allies, and the entire city around them!

Ryo, Hayato, Takeshi and Kei are Arms--kids implanted with nanotech limb enhancements that cause them to transform into grotesquely deformed and out-of-control superweapons. After coming through many fierce battles, Ryo arrives at the supercomputer Alice's location ready to finally settle things once and for all! But despite Ryo's amazing physical powers, he finds he's no match for Keith Black's powers of mind control... moreRyo, Hayato, Takeshi and Kei are Arms--kids implanted with nanotech limb enhancements that cause them to transform into grotesquely deformed and out-of-control superweapons.
